Kendall Price

Dr. Kendall Price was born and raised in Columbia, Maryland, the third of four children. He attended high school at the Phillips Academy Boarding School in Andover, MA, a place that left him with many fond memories, and that he calls the most formative time of his life. The friendships in 221 BC are loosely based on his time at Andover.

Following in the footsteps of his father and two grandfathers, all doctors, Kendall attended Amherst College in Amherst, MA and the University of Illinois College of Medicine and studied pathology at Stanford University. While there, he did four fellowships, including medical staff/ autopsy, hematopathology, surgical pathology, and immunohistochemistry.

Doctor Price lives in St. Paul, Minnesota with his wife Michelle and their three children. It was Michelle’s influence, with her study of Chinese medicine, and a masters degree in Chinese acupuncture, that led Dr. Price to become certified in acupuncture himself. The magic in 221 BC is based on Chinese medicine.

In addition to writing and Chinese medicine, Dr. Price enjoys working out, reading fiction, and travel. He has been to all 48 continental US states, Canada, Mexico, Alaska, and Copenhagen.

Other writing credits include a small booklet, available on Amazon, on healing dental caries by nutritional means.

Both of my grandfathers taught at Howard University Medical School and my father was OB/GYN from Georgetown University. My dad’s dad told him things like “don’t sit on the bed when you speak to the patient” (different times I’m thinking) and “shave after a night of call so you don’t look like a bum”. My dad told me things like “ask the patient what’s wrong and they will tell you” and “you are only as good as your last patient”. I mention these things because my dad and mom always taught us that practicing medicine was and is an honor.

I love patient care and am very good at it because I take it very seriously and try to read everything.
